Cleveland remains the strong bet for Love to join LeBron James. But the Wolves continue to listen to offers from Chicago and Golden State, with Philadelphia expected to be part of a three-team deal.

Needless to say, the Sixers will not be the team landing Love. Instead, they would likely grab an asset in exchange for taking on a bad contract to help complete the deal.

What kind of asset could the Sixers expect to land?

The obvious name that the Sixers could hope to get their hands on would be No. 1 overall pick Andrew Wiggins, who the Cavaliers would almost certainly have to trade to get Love. The chances of that happening, however, are slim-to-done. The only chance the Sixers would have of landing Wiggins would be if the Timberwolves preferred the Sixers' No. 1 pick in this year's upcoming draft, which is unlikely.

There has been some speculation the Sixers would take on guard Dion Waiters from the Cavaliers, but it is hard to see Hinkie agreeing to acquire the disgruntled guard. Waiters has been clear he wants to start next season, a request that doesn't exactly scream team spirit. Bringing Waiters in might help on the court, but you have to wonder what effect it might have on the young Sixers' locker room.
